It looks like the Poconos could see 1-3 inches of fresh Poe for Saturday morning..woo hoo..too bad I don't have a pair of the Pontoons..lol

Euler · Feb 28, 2008, 4:30 PM

Oh geezum...what looked like a quick clipper leaving a couple inches at best all of a sudden could be another half a foot of Edgar Allen Poeder. Looks like I'll get another chance to improve my powder skiing Saturday morning!!!

From the NWS Albany station for Southern VT:

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBANY HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM
